We are currently looking for an experienced senior PHP developer to help drive our aggressive product roadmap, improve the performance and stability of our systems and develop software engineering best practices across the organisation.

Who are we?

A start-up with a difference. Born in 2017 after branching off from well-known and established Student Tour Operator. We still work closely with them (operationally and literally, we share an office with them!) and they are now one of our clients. So, although we've entered new territory, our longest serving members of staff come with years of experience in travel and events planning and the technology we're using (and building!). We love tech, we love music, we love festivals, we love travel and we love perfecting our product and our service so that our clients have a one-stop-shop for their event.

What are we?

We're the fasted growing ticket agent in the UK. We're not just a ticket agent though! We built our booking platform in-house, we build packages for our clients' bespoke events and we provide expert customer service. We try and do whatever we can to help our clients pull off a showstopping festival, or a seamless journey, or an easy online experience. We're still exploring our potential with a great deal of excitement and loads of ambition, and now you get to join the ride!

Why come and work with us?

This is an opportunity to join one of Manchester's most exciting, cutting-edge tech start-ups. We're working with some of the highest profile festivals and events in the UK and Europe include Snowbombing, Festivalnumber6, Truck, YNOT and Biggreencoach.
